fashion + diana
You know how much I enjoy photographing shop windows with reflections that distort…everything. So, here’s a variation on that ongoing theme, and this one has a bonus of including the Fontana di Diana, which I didn’t even notice when I made the photo, as I was consumed with getting those mannequins lined up the way I wanted.

volcano fog
My favorite kind of weather is fog. I don’t see it often, which is definitely part of the attraction. But I like the way it envelopes everything, softening the edges and the noise, giving away to mystery.
And so while it was a shame that we didn’t get to the the magnificent lava fields stretching out below us, I did appreciate my moments with the fog. It felt a little bit like seeing an old friend.

sheep, up a hill and against a fence
The dogs thoughtfully herded these sheep up the hill, all the way to the fence, and kept them there while we made photos. And they were especially careful to get the sheep in the right place so some of them would be limned by the morning light.

shop cat
I met this kitty in Bagheria; he lives in the local cartmaker’s shop, where he keeps watch on the visitors.
(Later, after the official observation period has concluded, he will allow you to pet him.)

lemon gelato
This woman and I crossed paths that day, each of us taking in the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova di Monreale. After that, she sat in the sun and had a lemon gelato, while a couple of little girls played.
Truly, this simple scene means as much to me as the magnificence of the cathedral.
